Astavita, Mount Laurel, NJ, has un-veiled Astavita Sport. Physical activity produces an enormous amount of damaging free radicals; the more intense the activity, the greater the number of free radicals. These free radicals damage cells by triggering peroxidation of the cell membrane and oxidation of DNA and protein. Free radicals also activate the inflammatory response causing additional cell damage. The onset of muscle damage is noticed during recovery in the form soreness and fatigue. Astavita Sport’s main ingredient, AstaReal astaxanthin, was chosen because of its ability to protect against this free radical damage. AstaReal demonstrated two important physical benefits in clinical trials and supporting studies—increased physical endurance and reduced muscle damage.
